Festschrift for Dr. A. Pushparajan

Johnson Puthenpurackal asked for a contribution to a Festschrift for Dr A. Pushparajan, on Gandhi. I thought I could work up the introduction to Richards and Swanger's book, Gandhi and the Future of Economics, but what I have is far to sketchy and simple. I wanted to speak of Pushparajan the teacher, Gandhi and Ambedkar, Ambedkar and De Nobili, but above all, on Gandhi and his dharmic approach to economics, and how Richards and Swanger make this come alive.
